Choose the Right Movies

Pick age-appropriate films that balance spooky and silly!

Create a Cozy Viewing Spot

Pile on blankets, beanbags, and cushions. Dim the lights and add string lights or pumpkin lanterns for a festive glow without making it too dark.

Serve Themed Snacks

Popcorn with candy corn, monster rice krispies, caramel apples, or “witch’s brew” punch make it extra fun. Bonus points if snacks match the movie theme.

Add a Pre-Movie Craft

Get kids involved by decorating treat bags, making paper bats, or coloring Halloween masks before the show starts.

Dress the Part

Encourage costumes or Halloween pajamas for a festive touch. Even matching “spooky socks” can add to the fun.

Set the Mood with Music

Play a kid-friendly Halloween playlist while everyone gathers to build excitement before showtime.

Plan a Double Feature

Have a shorter, lighthearted cartoon for younger kids, followed by a slightly spookier classic for older ones.

Keep It Interactive

Pause for snack breaks, hand out glow sticks, or have a mini trivia game about the movie afterward.
